{{Infobox royalty | name = Djedi {{center|<hiero>sw-r:x:t-D:d-i-R11</hiero>}} | title = Prince of Egypt | father = Rahotep | mother = Nofret }} '''Djedi''' was an Egyptian prince who lived during Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. He was a son of Prince Rahotep and Nofret, possibly a grandson of king Sneferu and nephew of king Khufu. He had two brothers and three sisters.<ref name=":0">W. M. Flinders Petrie: ''Medum'', London 1892, plate XV (online: [https://archive.org/details/cu31924028670465])</ref> He is depicted in the tomb chapels of his parents and bears there the title "King's Acquaintance".
In an ancient Egyptian tale, "Khufu and the Magicians", mention is made of a magician called Djedi, and it is possible that this mythical person was inspired by the real prince Djedi, Khufu's nephew.<ref>[http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/egypt_magic.html Tales of Magic in Ancient Egypt]</ref>
